Sunday 28th March I will be at the Reading Town Hall Wedding Fair run by Dreamweddingfairs. I attended the last wedding fair held here in 2009 and wrote about it in my blog. It really is a great wedding venue based in the centre of Reading so why not come along to see the venue and some of the great exhibitors. For further information go to www.dreamweddingfairs.com or the Reading Town Hall wedsite at http://www.readingarts.com/TownHall/

Trunkwell House another great wedding venue

Last weekend I was at Trunkwell Mansion House near Reading for a wedding fair. What a popular venue this is and as they say on there website
'The house is now used for a multitude of purposes. The perfect setting for exclusive and sophisticated Weddings and Events, many of our Brides choose to keep in theme with the Victorian House and era. Trunkwell's splendid permanent marquee within the grounds of the house, lends itself to many themes. '
Again there were a lot of new and exciting exhibitors and my recommendation this time would be Stonehill Wedding Films. If you want a video of your wedding that this is the company to contact and information can be found at www.stonehillweddings.com

Wedding events 2010

Well who would have imagined that we could have so much snow - not seen anything like this for years! At last it seems to be going so we can start getting back to the business of planning our events for 2010 and booking suppliers.
Well 2010 looks like it is going to be a great year for weddings with lots of enquiries and booking already. The trouble is that so many Brides leave it too late to book me so if you are interested in having a Toastmaster - get in touch early!!
I have already attended 2 Wedding Fairs this season, The Grovefield Hotel Burnham on the 10th January and Donnington Spa and Hotel today.
Both places are ideal venues for weddings and both venues has lots of interested Brides so the diary is beginning to get some good bookings.
At both events there where many exhibitors and in particular I would mention the following 2 that really impressed me

Guy Portlock Magic Entertainment who does some 'Spellbinding trickery at close quarters'. A great idea to keep your guests entertained so look him up at www.guyportlock.co.uk

Tip Top Ballons was another exhibitor who had some great ideas for decorating your venue. Visit there website at www.tiptopballons.co.uk

My next wedding fair is on the 7th February at Trunkwell Manor in Berkshire so why not come along and get some great wedding ideas.

Wotton House Dorking - A great venue

On Saturday I was working at Wotton House in Dorking. What a fabulous venue and ideal for a wedding or any formal occasion. As there website says 'As an atmospheric setting for your conference, event, or leisure break, the magnificent Wotton House is ideal. Set in 20 acres of spectacular grounds, it was once the 17th century family home of botanist, John Evelyn. Now thoughtfully renovated, this first-class venue is within easy reach of Gatwick Airport, London and Guildford.
The function I was officiating at was the Marcellians Lodge Ladies festival and after a drinks reception we sat down to a very good 3 course meal. After dinner we were entertained by The Briefcase Blues Band. The really were a great band and the dance floor was full all evening.
Another successful evening and a venue I can highly recommend

Reading Town Hall Wedding Fair

Today was the Reading Town Hall wedding Fair organised by Dream Wedding Fairs. I have not been to Reading Town Hall before and what an impressive venue. The Town hall is located in the heart of Reading and has a choice of rooms to suit both the size of your wedding and your budget. The Concert Hall can seat up to 250 people and for a large wedding and is an impressive room with a high ceiling and gallery. If you hold your Civil ceremony there there is a very large and unique organ that I am sure would provide an excellent location. The Waterhouse Chamber with its stunning lead glass windoows designed by Alfred Waterhouse provides another perfect setting for the more intimate occasion.

The wedding fair itself had a number of unique exhibitors and there are a couple I would recommend. the 1st is someone I have met before. Robert Bone is a Magician and demonstrator of Extra-Sensory Curiosities. Robert would be a great entertainer to have at a wedding or any formal function and I recommend you visit his website at http://www.robertbone.co.uk/. My 2nd recommendation would be Tailored for You. Run by Lynette Morrison they supply good quality suits for 'Mother's of the Bride'. Really approachable and with a state of the art body scanner which takes hundreds of measurements to ensure the perfect fit. Again visit there website at http://www.tfycollections.co.uk/ for more information.
